FRESHNESS FROM MY BEAUTYFUL COUNTRY

Today’s post will be dedicated to my beautiful country. Bulgaria is amazing place. One of the borders is situated next to Black Sea famous with its very fine sands. The entire country is divided on two parts by huge mountain, called Stara Planina. Archeological sites from Thracian, Greek, Roman and Medieval ages are all around the country. Enough of advertisement. Check it out some of my amateur photos:

Posted by Ognian Georgiev

I am not a poet, but one thing is for sure – The spring is the time of new beginning. When I was a child in Bulgaria the winters lasted three full mounts. There were a lot of snow and we went every day to sledge down from the hills.
I am not sure if the global warm is the problem, but currently we have very short winters. In my city Sofia the snow lasts not more than a total of month now. That’s why I enjoyed very much to go to our nice mountain Vitosha, which is right to the biggest settlement in our country.
The highest peak is Cherni vrah (translated as Black peak). Its height is 2290 m. If you start climbing from some of the city points, you may go up for around 4 and a half hours in good tempo.
Here is the gallery of one spring climb of the Cherni Vrah few years ago, when I still wasn’t father of my sweet daughter Valeria.
